Patriots linebacker Raekwon McMillan: ‘I’m glad to have my peace back’ after missing all of 2021

It looks like Raekwon McMillan has not skipped a beat. Almost exactly one year after tearing the ACL in his left knee, he is again seeing regular practice opportunities with the New England Patriots’ starting defense.

Aligning in his usual spot as an off-the-ball linebacker, McMillan projects as a valuable member of the new-look unit — continuing to show the same potential he already displayed before his injury last year. The 26-year-old, however, does not appear to be interested in thinking back to 2021.

His focus, as he made clear after Friday’s practice, was on the future.
